Nothing much is going on in my life, but I am under orders to produce creative and humorous blog posts to entertain BFF, who is on a business trip and bored out of her skull.

I started a new rule regarding my Library Thing catalog, i.e., that I would only add this book to my library once I had it finished. Periodically, this keeps me racing through books so that I can add another to my library. (Actually, I have two. One for 2007. One for 2008.) Why does any of this matter? I don't know. It just does. Ride along with me...

Here is the list of books I'm currently reading/listening to:The Romanov Bride by Robert AlexanderThe Alienist by Caleb CarrThe World Without Us by Alan WeismanBy Order of the President by W.E.B. Griffin

Here's what's on my immediate to-be-read list (i.e., books already checked out or purchased and in my possession to be read):Bee Season by Myla GoldbergRESOLVE's new infertility bookEssential Torah by George RobinsonOut by Natsuo KirinoNever Let Me Go by Kazuo IshiguroSlammerkin by Emma DonoghueRagtime by E.L. DoctorowThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael ChabonThe Hard Way by Lee ChildShort Straw by Stuart WoodsThe Committed Life by Rebbetzin Esther JungreisThe Committed Marriage by Rebbetzin Esther JungreisThe Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani

My full non-immediate to-be-read list (that is, books that I would like to read, but don't have in my immediate possession) is waaaaaay too long for a blog post. Here are a few of them:The new Vince Flynn book (new to me)Essential Talmud by Adin SteinsaltzThe Penderwicks (as recommended by Jen) by Jeanne BirdsallThe Twentieth Wife by Indu SundaresanThe Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFedeBringing Down the House by Ben MezrichSaved by Jack Falla

It would be so much cooler if I didn't have to work, or sleep, or eat, cause then I could just read all day, every day.

I feel like I need to broaden my reading horizons. I am an author snob and I only read fiction. Maybe when you read a really good one you can mention it in your blog so that some of your readers (me,me,me)can explore some new reading material.

I love reading as well. I saw that you were reading RESOLVEs new infertility book, I haven't had a chance to read that. I am looking for another good book to read about infertility. Any recommendations?

I also recommend "The Undomestic Goddess" I am reading it for my book club, it is a light read.
